Last Year’s Winner Sophie Coran

"It was a big honour for me to win the Shure Songwriting award. The fact I was chosen out of so many other songwriters gave me a lot of motivation to keep doing what I like to do the most - writing songs. The Institute is such a great environment to develop as a songwriter. Since I've started the course I've written dozen of songs, collaborated with different kinds of writers and gained a lot of experience."
